VA Hearings On HIV Exposure Begin Tuesday

A House subcommittee meets tomorrow in Washington with the Department of Veterans Affairs--at issue is the concern that more than 10,000 veterans may have been exposed to HIV at an Augusta VA hospital and two others in the Southeast. VA officials plan to tell committee members how mistakes made with endoscopic equipment raised health concerns over the past few months. Along with the VA hospital in Augusta, facilities in Miami and Murfreesboro-Tennessee are also under review for the problems.
